It’s Never Too Late: Lessons in Resilience from Jog On

Too many of us believe that change is only for the young, the fit, or the fearless. Bella Mackie’s Jog On explodes this myth, showing that resilience is built one step at a time—at any age.



Mackie’s story begins at rock bottom, with heartbreak and anxiety threatening to swallow her whole. But with each run—no matter how short or slow—she proves that progress is possible. Neuroscience backs this up: the brain remains capable of growth and change well into adulthood. Late bloomers are everywhere, quietly defying expectations.

The secret? Start small. Embrace setbacks as part of the process. Mackie’s humor and honesty make her lessons relatable: she admits to crying on runs, to quitting and starting again, to feeling like an imposter. But she keeps going.



Every attempt counts. It’s never too late to jog on.
